Tune in to the Friday Magazine Show at 1.30pm. Local author Margaret Elphinstone, one of Scotland’s most highly regarded writers is on air. Alive’s Fiona Blackwood caught up with Margaret to speak about her ground breaking novel “The Gathering Night” and more.

Margaret comes to us thanks to Bibliographic Data Services, an information rich data supplier based in the Crichton Business Park in Dumfries.

Set in the Mesolithic “The Gathering Night” sets the scene for Scotland in a near unknown age and even gives a fictional account based on archaeological facts known of a real Tsunami that struck Scotland in that misty far past time. It is a gripping read from start to finish.
